I'd be interested to see if I can find a single person who would defend this.

Man is being completely held down by two agents, and is pepper sprayed directly in the face from inches away. Is there anyone, anywhere who thinks this is appropriate behavior for law enforcement?

Taylor Cass Talbott (@Livedebris) from Portland, USA, takes the floor now to explain that some of the common messages we built were based on previous positions developed for EPR (extended producers responsibility).

As interventions to curb pollution & end #climatechange mount, an inexorable Q looms large: can the #circulareconomy deliver a #justtransition for those who need it most? ♻️

@WIEGOGLOBAL 's @Livedebris explores this Q in our
🆕blog https://t.co/7H51lixqp6 #weekendread

[Emmy Nøklebye @emmynoklebye]

"Any pathway to a “just transition” for informal

representation through participatory and
informative planning processes"

@MacSmiff Ground Score Association has been expanding its new services providing doorstep waste collection for houseless camps. We only have one route in NE right now, but if you PM me the exact location we can put it on our radar.
